Logically, you don't need these switches.  Outside of py2exe a *.py
gets a console and can open gui windows, a *.pyw is a pure gui 
program.  Why the switches atall?  IDK?  Thought I'd ask.

I'm having a little trouble getting a py2exe executable to run on
a machine wo python installed.  Just wondered if this has anything to
do with it.
